To Do Article Marketing or Not To Do Article Marketing

By Brent Sweet

If you have any clue what you are doing, you can make money from article marketing. I think that everyone would agree that article marketing is the way to go right now. I use article marketing to promote my sites regularly. I use it to earn money through getting my sites moving in search engines, as well as bringing traffic to my sites. I believe that article marketing is not a way to waste your time. If you have the time, and you desire to improve your business, you need to get writing.

There are several excellent eBooks on the market for article marketing. I have learned tons of techniques for writing quality articles. Some will even tell you how to get your articles to sell for you. I don't care so much about getting sales from my articles. I like to write the articles to inform people, and then use my resource box to help my websites. The search engines really like article marketing and they will reward the webmaster who takes the time to write articles.

The best way to get free traffic is from the search engines. Though I agree with most that article marketing will provide some free traffic, it is not the best way to do it. Article marketing, however, will increase search engine rankings which does help with free traffic. I would say that to get up in the search results for your website, article marketing is the way to go. If you are simply just trying to promote affiliate links through article marketing though, I think you are wasting your time.

I have been really rewarded doing article marketing. I recommend it to anybody willing to give it the effort to get results. One thing is sure you can write one article and expect it to deliver. I write several articles every day. Sometimes I feel like I work for a magazine. The neat thing is that I do see results of my effort though, and I see them faster than any other form of marketing. The key, write as many unique articles as you can, and submit them with efficient submission services. Be an expert in your field, and live with passion. - 15634
